Dragonfly that is amazing! very good work! My biggest question is how do you take such great pics! That is one thing I really need to work on, who cares if you model is the best in the world, if no one can see it, it is all for naught! Gorgeous Gekko!

Thanks alot Jay. The photos are simply trial and error. I bought a decent camera, a couple of clamp on lights, some blue paper for a back ground, and a tri-pod. I just started experimenting with the manual settings till I got something I liked. I never use the flash. Focus and exposure is the key. Thanks again!!!

When you say 'decent camera', is it still digital?

Yes , it's a Kodak DX6490 4 mg pix digital. What I like about this camera is it has a 10X optical zoom which is great for close ups. Not as good as a macro lens, but I can still get in pretty close.

Yeah, I didn't finish this one either :-(

I would be up for a little renewal and more time. I wonder if there is a way to drum it up a little and maybe get some new, fresh participants to build excitement again. That is the one thing that I think tends to happen with group builds - they have periods of lots of excitement and activity and then tend to just die away. If you do extend it, maybe we can put a new invite in the aircraft forum and see if anyone new wants to join (or like me - rejoin).

My wife is typing up this Message, she is in Troutdale, Oregon and I am in Tallulah, Louisiana. I will extend this possibly another 6 months since there is still interest in this. I should be home around the 21st of this month, I will extend the GB then. Hope to hear from more of you until then. And if anyone wants to post this on the Aircraft-Forum, feel free to do so.

Thank you
